Thaba Qiloane is an iconic sand stone tower located just a few kilometers past the Thaba Bosiu Cultural Center. After passing the cultural center, keep an eye out to the right and you can't miss it.
A short sand stone tower that is said to be the inspiration for the shape of the traditional Basotho hats that can be found all over Lesotho. The hats are handwoven by locals and sold as traditional attire or as a souvenir.
Parking is available in the village at the base of the mountain, however it would be extremely disrespectful to not speak with anyone from the village. They may charge a few for parking. Paying the fee will ensure that the locals look after your rig. Basotho are very welcoming people, using the land is a privilege. Be respectful.
The approach is short 10-15 minutes to the base and 20' with a bit of bush whacking will allow you to circumnavigate the mountain.
